No, pineapples are not as amazing as peaches. You’ve heard me wax eloquent about the perfect peach, so we won’t get back into that. Though on the subject of peaches, I’m a little angry because this year I never found the perfect peach. Last night I gave up in frustration after biting into a rather mealy and stringy peach (the worst kind, and an insult to peaches everywhere). I couldn’t even eat another bite. If a peach isn’t perfect, it’s unacceptable.

But, yes, I did just promise not to wax eloquent about peaches. So, pineapples. Pineapples are pretty amazing because they are so citrusy and zingy but without the weird texture of oranges or mangoes. Pineapples are juicy and fresh and vibrant. And if you eat too many at once you’ll destroy your taste buds. Despite this, pineapples are pretty much my go-to college food. I’ll slice one up about once a week and store it in a bowl in the fridge, then put pineapple in basically everything: burritos, eggs (yes, eggs), stir fries, sandwiches, pizzas, guacamole, and so on. Or if it’s a hot day or I want a snack, there’s always a chunk of pineapple available.

So it’s a pretty obvious thing to put pineapple in muffins. Especially if they happen to be coconut citrus muffins.

I basically feel like I’m on a tropical island when I eat these. And you, too, can visit my island. Just give these moist, zingy little muffins a go and you will not be sorry.
